Bob!

Zoe's walk home was scarier than ever, voices where everywhere and the closer she was too the ocean the louder they got. Zoe's walk became sprint  as the voices repeated, "we can help you". Zoe's house finally came in sight and Zoe went for it, she ran upstairs to the top floor shouting "Mum! Dad! Lucy!? Where are they?" As Zoe walked further the creepier it got. The house was completely empty. The only thing left was there pet fish Nemo and yesterday's newspaper. "Where did everyone go?" Not particularly talking to anyone. "Packed up and left." Replied a gurgle kind of voice, the one that was there in the lounge room yesterday before the ferry ride. "Who's there?!" Zoe's voice was sharp and demanded answers. "Calm down don't worry it's me Bob and if you don't mind they forgot to feed me before they left." Zoe looked around "nemo?!" gasped Zoe. "It's Bob not 'nemo' and the food is right there next to the bowl." As Zoe fed her new discovered friend Bob told her what happened. "So they think i'm dead?!" Bob rolled his goldfish eyes "yes!" Zoe didn't get it. "So how come you can talk now and not for the past year?" Zoe questioned suspiciously. "Oh i've always been able to talk except the only person i really talked to was your friend Claire so maybe you can just understand me."  Zoe looked fondly at him. "Right back to buisness Claire she's a mermaid and so am I, sort of. But she needs this tablet sort of thing" Bob swam in circles "Oh you'll never be able to make the tablet of nature." Bob replied. "Why ever not?!" Zoe wanted to know. "Well first of all do you even know what you need, 1. Crushed pearls 2. Hermit Crab's home 3. A jellyfish tentacle and 4. An octupuses sucker." Zoe's jaw dropped open. "How am I meant to be able to get all that?" But before Bob could answer the phone rang. Zoe jumped but didn't admit it to her new found friend. "Hello," Her voice quiet not sure who would be ringing at 12 when her mum and dad were meant to be at work and her and her sister were meant to be at school. "Darling oh it's you." Zoe's ears pricked up and tears threatened her eyes. "Mum?!" Zoe asked getting her hopes up. "Yes darling look i'm sorry we left you but we had to leave when those strange men came by trashing the house we had to get out of there as soon as possible, and when you didn't come home we started to panic." Her mums voice was panicky and in a whisper. "Look meet us in the park in 5 mins please hurry." "sure mum." Zoe was now worrierd. After the phone was hung up Zoe explained to Bob the conversation. "Are you sure it's her?" Bob questioned. "Yes I'm sure you stupid fish just shut up!" As the door slammed and Zoe disappered towards the park Bob felt anxious and accepted his fate.

He he he, I like this part with the fish it is very cute and the kids will love it :) Little things like that really draw children into a story. You have a wonderful imagination. Some of your ideas are really great but there are a few odd ones in there too :P
